On Avidha Navami day, married women worship Goddess Gauri and observe Gauri Vrat. They keep fasting during Gauri Puja and the fast is broken after performing the puja or in the evening.

On Avidha Navami or Adukh Navami day, men who have lost their wives offer dry food and other offerings to a Brahmin and feed a married woman. In Maharashtra, on Bhadrapad Navami day, Jyeshta Gauri Visarjan is performed.

Bhadrapad Navami is also observed as Nanda Navami in some places of India.
